Manage episode 434251670 series 2796785
Why doesn't God whisk believers away to heaven the moment they turn to Him? Join Pastor Smith as he unravels this divine choice, spotlighting Jesus' prayer in John 17:15. We'll uncover three profound reasons: aligning with God's will, serving as the world's moral preservers, and benefiting personally through spiritual growth during our earthly journey. By staying in the world, believers become the salt and light that guide others toward salvation and gain strength and preparation for eternal glory, much like the Israelites in the wilderness.
As we navigate life's trials, Pastor Smith reveals how these experiences deepen our understanding of God. Each struggle paves the way for a transformative encounter with the Divine, enhancing both our faith and our role in God's grand design. This episode promises to uplift your spirit and provide fresh insights into your spiritual journey, affirming that every challenge glorifies God and enriches your walk with Him. Tune in and let these reflections inspire and fortify your faith until our next Shepherd's Talk.
